Happy Foot People: March 2019

Do you ever think about changing your life?

Revital U and U

You may or may not have heard of Revital U and until October 2017 I hadn't either! A friend Kathryn told me all about it and how her hairdresser had told her about another customer that had lost loads of weight drinking this coffee stuff. It all seemed a bit much, but Kathryn was so convinced she got some then decided to sell it herself. She then got her husband John and their 3 children selling it (don't worry they are all over 18!) This is where we came in as she was encouraging us to sign up.

It's a Coffee?

The thing was it was a coffee and not being a coffee fan I wasn't keen. My husband liked it enough though and on the way home we discussed what we had heard. "Oh, but it costs 50 quid a tub!" we cried and did nothing more about it.

2018 and several months later

Well, October turned into November into December, my waistline expanded a little over the Christmas period and the New Year came and went. I also quit my job at the end of December to concentrate on my business The Happy Foot Clinic. In April we visited our friend Kathryn again and the Revital U question came up. In fact it was a bit of a shock. She was making a very tidy sum of money from it and had a system to show us. Before we knew it we had signed up as Brand Influencers ourselves. Now I'm not going to sell you a story of rags to riches in the blink of an eye. Anyone that promises you that is selling you a dream, but I can tell you this. September 2018 has been my best month so far and my commission alone pays more than my monthly salary used to. Ok to be fair I worked part time doing 60 hrs a month, but I spend less than 10% of the time I used to work in my job on my Revital U business including helping out with time on my husband's and aunty's.

Smart Choice

But more than that I'm now using Revital U because they made a Smart Choice and introduced their Smart Caps (caplets that you take with some water). And the good news? Well, you get better energy, mood and concentration from just one cup of Revital U Coffee or one Smart Cap a day and the bonus is you may even lose some weight! Remember I said my waistline expanded a little after Christmas and New Year? Well I've lost over 1/2 a stone since starting with my Revital U Smart Caps on 13th June! And that includes a two week break from them when I was slow to reorder! Not bad eh?

Moving on from that and into 2019 and I now have my husband's son on the team. I'm still using Revital U. I had a few month off before and after Christmas because of a poorly and infected tooth, but am back on track. And despite Christmas, which means our house seems to be filled with chocolates, more chocolates, crisps, more crisps (potato fries), all kinds of sugary drinks, nibbles (any fattening convenience food that can be cooked quickly) and cakes, I have still managed to maintain my weight and since restarting my Revital U again to lose some more weight. The main thing though is the extra energy. That really helps. Whatever you want from Revital U it is sure to help you and now is the time to get your free samples and find out for yourself what it is like.

How do you spend your Saturday?

The Weekend is here!

What do you have planned for this weekend? Anything exciting or is it the same old routine? Did you know that by saving an audiobook to listen to when you go to the gym you are likely to workout 51% more often than those that don't?

How about doing some exercise this weekend?

You may use the extra time available to do some exercise. How about trying some outdoors activities like walking or hiking or something a bit more adventurous even such as kayaking or rock climbing? Swimming is something that suits people of all ages and will keep your body supported if you find things like running or cycling too hard.What about some sunrise yoga? Yoga not only stretches out your body and realigns it, but also strengthens your muscles and core. A good Yoga teacher will also help you with your breathing, which will help you to de stress. Whatever you do though have a fab weekend.

Do you struggle to lose weight? Here's why. Day 5

How is that diet coming along?

Did you know that the average person gains 11 pounds for every diet they go on? Were you aware also that the weight you regain is all fat? Now fat burns less calories than muscle so you actually end up with a slower metabolism than when you first started your diet. To maintain your weight when you have more fat on your body, you'll need even less calories than before. It's a vicious circle and it is why many people cannot understand how they are getting larger, but eating less. If you are a serial dieter, whose weight is constantly fluctuating then you need to carefully consider how you are going to lose the excess weight, keep it off for good and to get your metabolism back up and working for you. The rise in obesity and diabetes means that now really is the time to start looking after you and your body.

New Year, New You?

With the New Year you may have considered losing some weight after the indulgences of the festive season and it is a great time to start. You probably felt motivated and ready to take on the challenge, but moving on a bit and things have stagnated and you're struggling or have given up.

There are two key things you need to do differently this time to make this diet your last. The first thing is to reduce your appetite without starving yourself and fix your hormones and brain chemistry that drive your hunger and eating. Secondly you need to increase your metabolism to make sure you burn more calories by increasing you muscle mass because muscle burns more calories than fat.

Understanding the right things to do and how to avoid the wrong things that jeopardise your weight loss will help you to lose weight effectively and keep the weight off.

Do you have health issues that stop you losing weight?

Now this isn't a get out of jail free clause because you haven't been following a plan, eating smart and the right foods or expecting that you will have the best will power in the world. It may be that there are some underlying health issues at play that are preventing you from losing weight that can be addressed. Hidden food allergies or sensitivities can cause inflammation that worsens your insulin resistance.

Gluten and dairy are the most common, but don't switch to alternatives that are high in sugar, refined carbs or flours as this is no good either. Stick to fresh food always. If you are not sure what the problem is you can try an elimination diet by excluding certain food groups for 3 weeks and see how you feel. You may have gut problems caused by a high sugar, high carb, refined, low fibre diet that can also affect how your body breaks down and absorbs food. Get rid of the bad bugs from your gut by eating a low-glycemic, low fermentation (starch) diet and take probiotics. Cut out any acid blockers, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories as well as these will make your gut worse.Is your life too toxic? Environmental chemicals commonly found in your home could be making you gain weight. Have you considered using more natural alternatives to clean with, changing your beauty products etc to make your like full of less toxins?

Learn to control your appetite

You think you can control your appetite right? You think that come the afternoon when that boredom sets in or those afternoon hunger pangs start that you'll have the willpower and self control to avoid raiding the snack? Because most diets involve eating less they are more likely to trigger hunger. You ever had that when you feel hungry and that is all you can think about? It's a powerful and emotive feeling and as your hunger increases so do your cravings and your metabolism slows to conserve energy while low fat, higher carb and sugary foods will make your more hungry and also slow your metabolism.

Learn to eat the right foods at the right time and eat enough to satisfy your appetite and make sure that your food balances your blood sugar to lower your insulin. Choose nuts, seeds, chicken, fish, grass fed meats and fibre rich fruits and vegetables, like carrots, green peas, apples, grapefruit, and watermelon. Use Whole-grain breads like barley, pumpernickel, and whole wheat and beans Kidney, garbanzo, pinto, soy, and black beans, but don't go mad. Cereals with 100% bran. Remember fat, protein and fibre will slow insulin spikes and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Always have a protein rich breakfast as this gets your metabolism working and and avoid eating 3 hours before going to bed. This is because when you sleep your body slows down and burns less energy.

Learn to use fat to your advantage

You've probably heard that having a low-fat diet will help you to lose weight. America adopted this mantra to catastrophic effect leading to 1 in 2 Americans being pre-diabetic. It turns out that eating sugar makes you fatter not eating fat even though fat has 9 calories per gram and carbs have 4 calories per gram. This is because by eating more fat and less carbs you can increase your metabolism by 300 calories a day even when you are eating the same total calories a day! A low-carb, high-fat diet can even help drop your cholesterol.

The right fats found in vegetables such as avocado, nuts, seeds, coconut butter or oil and clean animal fats found in organic eggs with the yolk, chicken, grass-fed meats, fish with omega 3 fats (sardines, herring, wild salmon, black cod) will make you feel full. they will also speed up your metabolism and help you lose weight.

Eat Smart Calories

Have you ever done a diet based on the number of calories you eat? You religiously record every single calorie that passes your lips, but still feel hungry and deprived at the end of the day. It's demoralising isn't it? Well, not all calories are created equal and some make you fat, while others make you thin. Anything that spike insulin such as sugar, flour, excess grains, fruit and beans can trigger a shift in your metabolism because it drives the food into your fat cells. This can also trigger that starving feeling, which is going to slow your metabolism even after eating a big meal because you'll still be craving something to eat.

Change the focus of your diet to things such as nuts, seeds, chicken, fish, grass fed meats and fibre rich fruits and vegetables, like carrots, green peas, apples, grapefruit, and watermelon. Use Whole-grain breads like barley, pumpernickel, and whole wheat and beans Kidney, garbanzo, pinto, soy, and black beans, but don't go mad. Cereals with 100% bran. If you have sugar have very small amounts and avoid artificial sweeteners because they trigger sweet receptors, hunger and slow your metabolism.

How do you Relax on a Sunday?

The Weekend is here!

What do you have planned for this weekend? Anything exciting or is it the same old routine? Did you know that plants can lower your stress levels? Actively caring for plants can calm your nervous system and lower blood pressure. If you have plants nearby when you are working you are likely to be able to concentrate better, feel more satisfied and that the air quality is better.

How about doing some planting this weekend?

There is something quietly satisfying about tending to a garden and nurturing and growing plants.You don't have to have a great big garden or greenhouse to get enjoyment from plants. You can nurture seeds from a simple propagator and plant them on and keep on a windowsill. Even growing some herbs for your kitchen such as coriander or mint is straightforward. If you don't fancy doing that your local garden centre is sure to have some lovely choices and staff that can advise on what is best for your needs.

What will you do this Saturday?

The Weekend is here!

What do you have planned for this weekend? Anything exciting or is it the same old routine? Did you know that women that go on a vacation at least twice a year have a lower heart attack risk than those do so rarely? Even thinking about an upcoming trip can boost your happiness for weeks.

How about doing something this weekend?

You can choose to do something that is relaxing or more active. How about some sunrise yoga, trying some outdoors activities like walking or hiking or something a bit more adventurous even such as kayaking or rock climbing? Perhaps you have a hobby or interest that you have let slide? Maybe you like to sew, or knit or paint even? Even reading a good book can help you relax. Whatever you do though have a fab weekend.

How to have fun at work. Day 5

How much time are you at work?

The average worker in the UK spends 3,750 full days at work, which is 90,000 hours over the course of their lifetime and will also work 188 days of overtime. It makes you think doesn't it? That is a lot of time spent behind that desk or on your feet and the truth is that if you don't enjoy your time at work then that time spent there can feel like double. No one wants to be in a workplace where you feel unhappy or that your time is dragging for little reward at the end of the day.

Brighten up your workplace

Adding something personal to your workspace makes it feel nicer and less impersonal. A small desk plant will not only make you feel better, but will help oxygenate the air as well. A photo of loved ones, a favourite place, holiday or object on your desk that cheers you up will also keep you feeling more positive. A notice board with thank you cards, notes and messages from satisfied clients is also a good way to keep you and your team motivated and to remind you all that you are doing a great job. Some companies have artwork on the walls to brighten the place up and larger office plants will help break up a monotonous space.
